Women & Bisexuality

The concept of two women making love with their soft, sweaty bodies pressed against each other has been proven by numerous surveys to be the most popular male fantasy. Same-sex fantasies are common with men and women, but they don’t define a person’s sexuality. Well, that is according to some experts.

Schools of thought

Nothing definitive has been reached by psychoanalysts discussing the origins of homosexuality or bisexuality. Unfortunately, studies are often unpublished or too overstated to bend in favor of the opinions of the analysts involved -- and this has been going on for years. The scientific community’s inability to find a “gay gene” has slightly narrowed the sexuality focus and has led to the question: Are we hardwired from birth or do we choose our sexuality? Research conducted by the National Association for Research & Therapy of Homosexuality (NARTH) points to a bit of both. All in all, the research is very inconclusive, which leaves us with the less straightforward issue at hand: women and bisexuality.

WHO’S DOING IT?

The demographics tell us a lot. There are three vague groups based solely on age, which is simply indicative of the overall stages of maturity and life experience.
Young women
The first group is between 20 and 35, and the women in this category are far more inclined to be with another woman for the sheer pleasure and experience of it. Sure, they might be excited with the knowledge that they are turning a guy on somewhere in the world, but these women are probably enjoying it. They are more sexually aware of themselves and of others around them, invoking curiosity and a genuine desire to experiment with sensations and their sexuality.

Older women

Women older than 35, sometimes referred to as cougars, have often been married and divorced and may have teenage or grown children. They may have become disillusioned with men due to a distasteful experience, and are now seeking the emotional connection that has been absent from their relationships with men. Though there is a greater tendency for this group of women to jump the fence and become full-on lesbians, they will most likely show an interest in men again once their emotional needs have been filled. Many women will temporarily swap sides to engage in a fully lesbian relationship, and they may seesaw from women to men throughout their lives. This has become a noticeable trend among baby boomers.
Teenage girls
The last group of wannabes is the female population that inhabits high school and college campuses. They are young (between the ages of 14 and 19), impressionable and keen to impress. Internet porn, the Madonna and Britney kiss, Sex and the City, and American Pie have all directly contributed to the new norm of girls kissing girls. The kissing girls are typically straight and everyone knows it. Actually, being straight is one of the rules of engagement, since the girls in this group wouldn’t dream of kissing a real lesbian or bisexual girl, which would be too weird. It’s strictly kissing only -- anything more than a little tongue is unnecessary and undesirable.

Essentially, these girls are emulating a sexual activity simply to attract a guy to go home with that night. It is all for show and they’re finding no actual sexual pleasure in it. Unfortunately, being sexually manipulative means these girls believe they are powerful and provocative, when in reality it’s just a means to an end.
